Emergence of ratio-dependent and predator-dependent functional responses for pollination mutualism and seed parasitism
Prey (N) dependence [g(N)], predator (P) dependence [g(P) or g(N,P)], and ratio dependence [f(P/N)] are often seen as contrasting forms of the predator's functional response describing predator consumption rates on prey resources in predator–prey and parasitoid–host interactions. Analogously, prey-, predator-, and ratio-dependent functional responses are apparently alternative functional responses

Multimodeling: new approaches for linking ecological models
The Everglades region of South Florida presents one of the major natural system management challenges facing the United States. With its assortment of alligators, crocodiles, manatees, panthers, large mixed flocks of wading birds, highly diverse subtropical flora, and sea of sawgrass, the ecosystem is unique in this country (Davis and Ogden 1994). The region is also perhaps the largest human-con

Constraining rates and trends of historical wetland loss, Mississippi River Delta Plain, south-central Louisiana
The timing, magnitude, and rate of wetland loss were described for five wetland-loss
hotspots in the Terrebonne Basin of the Mississippi River delta plain. Land and water areas
were mapped for 34 dates between 1956 and 2004 from historical National Wetlands
Inventory (NWI) datasets, aerial photographs, and Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite
images. Since 1956, the emergent land area at the

Predicting the persistence of coastal wetlands to global change stressors
Despite progress toward understanding the response of coastal wetlands to increases in relative sea-level rise and an improved understanding of the effect of elevated CO2 on plant species allocation patterns, we are limited in our ability to predict the response of coastal wetlands to the effects associated with global change. Static simulations of the response of coastal wetlands to sea-level ri

USGS reports latest land-water changes for southeastern Louisiana
The USGS National Wetlands Research Center is reporting that a total of 118 square miles of land has been transformed to new water areas in a 9,742 square mile area from the Chandeleur Islands to the Atchafalaya River. This area encompasses the basins of Breton Sound, Mississippi River, Pearl River, Pontchartrain, Barataria, Terrebonne and the western quarter of the Atchafalaya basin.

Bioindicators from Mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) Sampled from the Imperial Valley in Southern California
The Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge (SSNWR) is located 64 km north of the Mexican border at the southern end of the Salton Sea in California's Imperial Valley. Freshwater ponds and managed habitats at the SSNWR, Calipatria, Calif. are supplied with Colorado River water that carries compounds from upstream sources. Components include municipal and industrial discharges, agricultural
